Specializations

Variants

  • 活力壁垒 图标活力壁垒 gives you better group healing, even when not using Mace. Losing the other trait however can make it harder to revive allies.

Equipment

Usage

Luminary basics

  • You can access a new set of weapon skills with 进入光辉熔炉 图标进入光辉熔炉.

  • The time you get to spend in the forge is limited, you start running out of energy gradually.

    • This isn't a resource you can build or manage. You always start with a full bar upon entering the forge. It's more of a timer.
  • The minimum recharge for the forge itself is 5 seconds. If you use 2 or more weapon skill, the recharge goes up.

  • Skills 2-5 have flipover chain skills. The chain skills don't add extra recharge time.

    • You lose the chance to use chain skills if you cast another skill before using the previous one's chain. For example if you used skill #2 then went straight to skill #3, you can use skill #3's chain skill now, but #2's is no longer available.

Settings

  • Under General Options / User Interface enable "Thick party health bars" and "Always show health bars". These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support. For more tips check out our settings guide.

General

  • Your role is to rotate wherever the teamfight is and keep your team alive. Avoid getting locked into 1v1s.

  • Radiant Forge gives you a significant damage boost, even on a support build. Support Luminaries are able to contribute quite a bit of damage that could help the team with securing kills.

  • 守护界线 图标守护界线 is a powerful tool when used at the right moment. Against Thieves and Revenants for example you can put the ward beneath your feet and they get CC'd the moment they teleport to you. The ward may also interrupt evade frames such as regular dodging or 匕首风暴 图标匕首风暴 if they bump into it.

  • 利刃符印 图标利刃符印 helps with rotating around the map, assuming you have a target you can lock on to. In combat the 目盲 图标目盲 can be used to mitigate incoming damage and the teleport is still valuable especially for vertical mobility. SoB is great at navigating difficult terrain, reaching allies at upper levels and leaving pursuing enemies behind (assuming you can target an enemy elsewhere).

  • Get creative with 利刃符印 图标利刃符印, for example:

    • Teleport to an enemy at the highground and knock them off with 吸收护盾 图标吸收护盾, setting up a kill for your allies below.
    • Let's say you're at the Clocktower on Battle of Kyhlo, getting focused by multiple enemies. Target the one that's farthest away from you, jump off the building, wait for them to jump after you. Right before the farthest enemy jumps use them to teleport back up, leaving the rest of them below. Chances are even they will jump if you can time it just right.
    • Use destructible objects to your advantage, like the Trebuchet on Kyhlo or doors on Legacy of the Foefire. Even if they are out of range, teleporting in their direction while being focused by the enemy team could put distance between you and those who are chasing you.
  • 狂徒防御 图标狂徒防御 is one of the lowest CD anti-projectile skills in the game and even does decent damage in melee range.

  • 专注复苏 图标专注复苏 is your best defensive cooldown. Complete immunity to both direct and condition based damage (except fall damage) and even CC, this is your "time out" button that also refreshes your virtues. If you're forced into using Renewed Focus because you're getting focused hard by the enemy team and some of your virtues are still up, make sure to use them before you finish channeling the skill as there's no reason not to send them on CD.

    • Using this skill only to refresh your virtues is a viable strategy if an ally is on the brink of death and you have nothing else to support them with, but it's a waste of you don't use it as a last resort.
    • If you don't have access to stun breaks or 稳固 图标稳固 and you feel like you're in danger, consider using 专注复苏 图标专注复苏 before you drop too low. With stunbreaks and stability available you may comfortably sit on this skill until the last moment, but without them you don't want to get caught in a CC chain when you're say, below 25% HP.
  • Using forge skills partially recharges your virtues thanks to 光明启迪 图标光明启迪. This is extremely important! If you're entering forge and planning to use multiple skills, make sure that most if not all of your virtues are on CD! Otherwise you're potentially missing on some extra uses of these skills.

Healing/Support

  • 决心姿态 图标决心姿态 is your best healing skill, as 100% of the healing is shared with allies and it heals for a huge amount. Even when you're using this for self-healing, try to do it next to teammates.

  • 英勇姿态 图标英勇姿态 is your next best thing, it'll heal allies whenever you apply a boon to them. It's best used with 能量引导 图标能量引导, which applies several 威能 图标威能 stacks per pulse on top of some base healing of its own.

  • 光耀决心 图标光耀决心 might heal less then the previous 2 skills, but at least it's instant, which makes it great at emergency healing/cleansing.

    • Instant 中毒 图标中毒 cleansing before your big heals is quite impactful too.
    • This skill buffs the next use of your 夜光法杖 图标夜光法杖 significantly, causing it to heal for more. Since Radiant Resolve is instant, you could even activate it while casting Luminous Staff.
  • 稳固 图标稳固 access is quite good in the build, which makes your team fairly resistant to CC. Other than Valorous Stance you also have "坚守阵地!" 图标"坚守阵地!" and the F3 光耀勇气 图标光耀勇气.

  • 光耀勇气 图标光耀勇气 when traited with 不屈勇气 图标不屈勇气 is one of the few skills in the game that are capable of breaking stun for allies! This sets it apart from your other stability sources - while your other skills only make allies immune to CC, this can also be used reactively to break them out of it.

  • Use Staff's 神圣打击 图标神圣打击 on CD, assuming anyone on your team's missing health. Try to drop it inside a light field whenever possible - executing a blast finisher in them results in AoE condition cleansing.

    • All of your symbols are light fields.
  • On Sword/Shield most of your supportive capabilities are tied to Shield skills.

  • 裁决盾击 图标裁决盾击 is mainly for damage mitigation via 保护 图标保护 and 圣盾 图标圣盾, but Aegis also heals when it's consumed. It's a good skill to use before you'd start healing an ally, immediately stabilizing them a bit and slowing the rate at which they take damage, giving you more time to act.

  • 吸收护盾 图标吸收护盾 is a very versatile skill:

    • The first part of the skill knocks back enemies which could be used to peel for allies or interrupt important skills/actions like a .
    • While channeled, the skill also acts as a Light Field. You could precast 神圣打击 图标神圣打击 on Staff before swapping weapons and combo it with 吸收护盾 图标吸收护盾 for AoE cleansing.
    • The channeled portion also absorbs projectiles and could even shut down a 巫妖形态 图标巫妖形态.
    • Finally you may choose to detonate the dome for AoE healing. This could be done right away by double tapping SoA if you don't want to channel the skill at all.
  • Dodge rolling via 无私英勇 图标无私英勇 adds a fair bit to your sustained group healing. Try to dodge in the direction of your allies whenever possible to get the most out of this trait, and stay close to them.

  • Every forge skill can be used defensively or to support your team, mostly by peeling for them with CC like 晕眩 图标晕眩 or 目盲 图标目盲. Skill #3 is the standout here, its chain skill 复苏微光 图标复苏微光 is a strong healing skill that also gives allies damage mitigation by redirecting some of the incoming damage to you.

    • Don't worry about using this on low health, damage won't be redirected if you're below 50% HP.

Cleansing

  • 光耀决心 图标光耀决心 is further empowered by 纯粹决心 图标纯粹决心, turning this skill into an instant AoE mass cleanse.

  • 决心姿态 图标决心姿态 also has good cleansing tied to it. Tip: if you're going to chain multiple condi removal skills together, start with this one. Resolute Stance has a lingering effect that heals you whenever a condition gets removed.

  • Forge's #3 chain skill 复苏微光 图标复苏微光 is the 3rd best thing to use vs conditions. The first part of the skill also creates a light field which you can blast with 晕眩巨锤 图标晕眩巨锤 for extra cleansing.

  • 净化之光 图标净化之光 cleanses conditions around you whenever you gain 光明光环 图标光明光环. Sources include:

    • 光耀决心 图标光耀决心
    • 决心姿态 图标决心姿态
    • Forge #4 光亮戳刺 图标光亮戳刺 inside a light field, as it's a leap finisher.
    • Forge #2 晕眩巨锤 图标晕眩巨锤 when used in a combo field (any field). Using it inside a light field cleanses 2 conditions, as it's also a blast finisher.

Reviving Allies

  • Couple of things worth mentioning about 仁慈纹章 图标仁慈纹章:
    • This is easily the most gamechanging skill on your bar, so do not waste it. Just because you have an option to revive people from range doesn't mean you have to do it whenever this skill is available. Keep it for emergency situations where manual rez would be impossible or too risky!
    • Try to use it with 稳固 图标稳固 to increase your odds of success. If possible, break line of sight while channeling the skill (for example run behind a pillar) to make it harder for enemies to interrupt you.
    • If you're absolutely certain that your ally is going to hit the ground, you can start channeling 仁慈纹章 图标仁慈纹章 in advance on your ally's location. With proper timing the skill should finish its animation a split second after your teammate went down, bringing them back up immediately.
    • The signet basically restores a large chunk of downed health all at once. This counts as healing, and is therefore affected by healing reduction effects such as 中毒 图标中毒. If your downed ally barely has any HP left and has 中毒 图标中毒, it's possible that the signet alone won't be enough to get the rez.

Pre-game Buffing

  • Stack Swiftness for your team before leaving the base! Use 迅捷符印 图标迅捷符印 on the spawn point's exit gate ~4 seconds before the match starts. Each pulse of the symbol stacks 迅捷 图标迅捷.

  • You can contribute to combo fields dropped by allies with 神圣打击 图标神圣打击. Lightning fields for 迅捷 图标迅捷, smoke fields for 潜行 图标潜行, water fields for healing and fire fields for 威能 图标威能 are the most common ones.
